While talking to Collider about how the relationship between the characters changes throughout the film, Allen says, “But the relationship between Mother and Daughter, which is at the crux of the film, evolves in a really interesting way. There is a lot of suspicion and mistrust and secrecy and you never quite know what reality is."

Run is written by Chaganty and Sev Ohanian, who also co-wrote  Searching . The 2018 starred John Cho as a frantic father who desperately tries to retrace his 16-year-old daughter’s digital footprints after he discovers that she has suddenly gone missing.

Run is slated to release on 8 May on the occasion of Mother’s Day.
